* About Comedi:

Comedi is a collection of drivers for data acquisition hardware.
These drivers work with Linux, and also with Linux combined with
the real-time extensions RTAI and RTLinux.  The Comedi core, which
ties all the driver together, allows applications to be written
that are completely hardware independent.

Comedi supports a variety of data acquisition hardware; an
incomplete list can be found in the Comedi source.

This distribution contains only the user-space library.  You will
almost certainly also want to download the Comedi kernel modules
found in the "comedi" tarball.  Also, the calibration programs
comedi_calibrate and comedi_soft_calibrate can be found in the
"comedi_calibrate" tarball.  A few boards also need firmware
found in the "comedi-nonfree-firmware" tarball.

* Installation:

Installation instructions are found in INSTALL.

* Mailing List:

Comedi has a mailing list.  Send "subscribe comedi" to
comedi-request@comedi.org to subscribe.  Traffic is light, and mainly
questions/answers about comedi installation, bugs, and programming.
General questions about data acquisition are also welcome.
Alternatively, you can subscribe and unsubscribe at
http://www.comedi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/comedi.
You can always unsubscribe by sendinging "unsubscribe" (spell
it correctly!) to comedi-request@comedi.org.

* More Information:

Comedi also has a web page, at http://www.comedi.org/comedi.  New versions
of comedi can be found on the ftp site ftp://ftp.comedi.org/pub/comedi.

Often bugfixes and new features that are not in the current release
